As a retiree on a teacher's pension, I am always alert to ways to maintain my health, and this is one of the best so far.

Dr. Fromm has distilled 20 years' experience in an amazingly simple, hands-on healing and maintenance technique that I am now using on myself and others with great success. With this book as a guide, several friends and I regularly transmit qi to one another. We've experienced immediate pain relief, for example, and we are all energized in the process, whether giving or receiving.

Fromm focuses on women's issues--menstruation, pregnancy, and childbirth, and includes invaluable advice for assisting the old and the dying. He includes fascinating and inspiring case histories. Somehow he manages to convey all this in a tone so warm, humorous, and conversational that it's like having him at your elbow. The illustrations and instructions make the whole endeavor crystal clear.

I wish I had had this book years ago, and I hope I can be instrumental in turning others on to it.

Let me say first that the tone of the book is irresistible. It is written for an intelligent audience (actually, I have the feeling Dr.Fromm wrote with intelligent women in mind) and the style is insightful and humorous. He presents a large amount of useful information in a very engaging way. The book covers all aspects of life--sex, reproduction, birth, development, and aging--and concludes with a moving meditation on death.The case histories presented together with the information (for example, dealing with emotional trauma, pre-natal child care, caretaking the elderly, etc.)are themselves fascinating, and kept me turning the pages to learn more. I might also add that the book is very well-produced, and the numerous illustrations give the anatomically-illiterate reader like myself a sure understanding of what-where-how to do the exercises to promote health in oneself and in others. I believe that the curious and intelligent reader will enjoy and benefit from this book, and so I urge people to read it.
